Braxton Cook

[mrjazzman]

Anybody heard of this young fellow Braxton Cook? Went to see him at The Black Cat, 400 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA. Don't remember names but his supporting cast was mediocre at best. However, my main statement here is about the club. One of the worst experiences in my life. The club is right in the middle of one of the worst neighborhoods in The City, The Tenderloin. I was lucky to find a parking space close by, still, walking past homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk was unpleasant to say the least.  Club was sardines in a can crowded upstairs. I must admit the downstairs music room was cozy and intimate. There seemed to be mass confusion as far as seating goes, was moved from original seating. I could say a lot more but I'll leave it here by saying Bird and Diz would have to come back from the dead for me to return. Sad. Mr. Tipples is a much better venue.......
